In a recent report, Fichajes mentioned that Arsenal are eyeing a move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. It has been claimed that the Gunners are showing interest in recruiting the Argentine talent this summer.<\/p>\n

Fernandez\u2019s Impressive Form In English Football<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fernandez has enjoyed a decent run of form at the West London club as he has produced a string of impressive displays for them at the centre of the park. The 25-year-old has scored 13 times and earned six assists in 49 matches for Chelsea this season across all fronts.<\/p>\n

The Argentina international is currently one of the best central midfielders in the Premier League. Hence, it is no surprise that the Gunners are in the running to land him this off-season.<\/p>\n

His current contract at Stamford Bridge will run out in the summer of 2032, which could make it tough for Arsenal to sign him on the cheap later this year.<\/p>\n

Will Fernandez Be A Good Choice For Arsenal?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fernandez is a good tackler of the ball and can earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He doesn\u2019t mind putting his foot through the ball when needed and can shoot it with venom from long range.<\/p>\n

The Argentine talent has got the eye to create some inviting chances for his teammates in the final third and is an energetic runner with the ball. Fernandez is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also play in the number ten position or as a defensive midfielder if required. He has already got plenty of experience in the Premier League and won\u2019t take much time to adjust to life at Arsenal if they manage to get a deal done for him this summer.<\/p>\n

We can expect Fernandez to bring more quality and depth to Mikel Arteta\u2019s midfield. He has what it takes to nail down a regular first-team spot at the North London club.<\/p>\n

At 25, Fernandez has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Gunners to pursue at the end of this campaign. He will also help Arsenal compete for some major honours over the next few years. With all things considered, Arteta would be wise to try everything in his power to lure Fernandez to the Emirates Stadium in the upcoming transfer window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
